Hair Woes

I was born with very, very dark brown hair. I inherited it from my dad. And I love it. I really do. In my mind, the darker, the better.

Lately, however, I've noticed a disturbing trend. Ever since I got married, my dark hair began to grow in lighter. Proof:


Pre-marriage:

Engaged-- Still working the dark hair




Post-marriage:

Has anyone ever experienced this latent-hair-color-changing phenomenon? It is most unwelcome, and if anyone has any advice on how to get my raven locks back, please share. I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

  1. Not to get all up in your bid-ness, but I've heard the pill can mess with hair color (make it either darker or lighter). My advice? Ditch the pill and start having babies. :)

  2. The pill Liz? This is a Catholic institution, I'm shocked at the suggestion...

  3. oooo - Are you spending a lot of time in the sun maybe? Sometimes in the summer time my hair gets a little less red and a little more...well...ORANGE! I hate it. lol.

    That is my only thought (sorry not very helpful). :)

  4. Well obviously, you're pregnant. It's the only possible explanation!

  6. Yo Bel.

    I KNOW that your natural color is not as black as in that first photo. :) So, hair dye it up. You did before. Do it again now. I'm all about that as you know. heh heh heh.

  7. Ehem. Mel. I sure love ya but MAN, how naive you are. The change has nothing to do with wedded bliss. It has everything to do with one word and you know exactly what word that is.

    Yogurt.

    They've infiltrated the dairy industry in Indiana. They, in fact, have weaseled their way into every state except this one from which I type now. Maybe it is Mormons and their obsession with food storage or the high concentration of wizard-folk that dissuades them... but for whatever reason they steer clear of me and my gallons and gallons of skim. But they have gotten to you.

    You have one choice.

    Flee.

    Back to Utah. Back to this state where I live and you should live. Back to where In N Out is less than a mile away. Back to where the winters aren't as bleak and the summers aren't as mosquito infested. Back to Utah.

    If you don't come back, I'm pretty sure you'll be a blonde-bombshell by your first anniversary.

    (Now, was that a noble attempt at persuasiveness or WHAT?!? And I wonder how many furrowed brows came as a result of this comment...)

  10. Better than having your hair turn gray!

  11. hmmm... my hair has gotten darker since being married. I am also not happy with that... but I just found out it happened because I was pregnant... so... you could get pregnant and your hair could turn dark, like mine :)

  12. The hair thing is kind of lame, but you still looked smokin hot when I saw you a few weeks ago. I think Lizzie's explanation makes the most sense. Dairy is most likely the cause. And don't you worry, I ready the last two books of HP last summer which is why I am so darn excited for the movies! I thought I have told you because I know you would be oh so proud. =) Hope it is getting less wintery and more summery in South Bend. Let the sun shine!!!

  13. Um wow... I meant 'read' instead of 'ready' and I also meant 'thought I had told you' instead of 'thought I have told you'. That is what I get for not proofreading.
